What players say

Players say Nessy the Robot is a short retro platformer that nails the NES aesthetic with good sprite work, music, and controls, but the levels feel empty, enemies are repetitive, and both regular bosses and the final boss are too easy. The game can be beaten in under an hour, leaving many feeling there is little reward or reason to play.
